Land Law

Seventh Edition

J. G. Riddall

Description

The new edition of Riddall: Land Law takes into account new case law that has helped to clarify matters as disparate as: fixtures, the discharge of water on to a neighbor's land, severance by notice, the division of property between co-owners, the nature of licences, the nature of the interest held by a tolerated trespasser, the surrender of leases, and various others. But it is in legislation that the most significant changes have been seen. These are fully covered in this new edition, with particular attention paid to the Land Registration Act 2002 and the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002.
